Title: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: DOGE12321 on August 02, 2016, 10:56:12 PM Hey guys I am planning to put some info about Bitcoin in my school’s paper. Here is the script. Please provide feedback. Thanks.
Bitcoin – A New Era Have you ever wondered about a world where you could bank without banks? A world where your private transactions are public? A world where you could send transactions internationally in a peer-to-peer situation without going through a third party like a bank? It sounds crazy but that is what Satoshi Nakamoto created in the January of 2009. He created Bitcoin. Bitcoins are the first decentralised digital coins that can be sent via the internet. This means that it has “no central control, no central private vault of information, no central management, and most importantly, no central point of failure”. Bitcoin is controlled by the people who use it. Everything in bitcoin is public. This is contrasted with the centralised system of third party verifications such as banks or clearing houses. Bitcoin is shaking the foundations of the society in which most people live in today. It is a new, technology that can change the world. Compared to other alternatives such as fiat, which is the currency that has been approved by a government tender, bitcoin has advantages on many levels. These advantages all rely on Bitcoin’s central philosophy of decentralisation. Bitcoin proposes a form of peer to peer transactions, which means that we are ditching banks for good. In the centralised world, banks have control over transactions. They charge payment for verifying the validity of such transactions. As there are no banks in the case of Bitcoin, it means that business fees are much lower, we can use Bitcoin internationally and that your wallet can never be frozen. Let’s look into how these Bitcoins work. There are many currency exchanges in which people can sell or buy Bitcoin for dollars, euros, pounds and more. Obviously, as each currency has different values, the price of Bitcoin is dependant on the currency used. All your Bitcoin are stored in your wallet on your phones, computers, the internet or other devices. Sending transactions to other accounts is as easy as handing money over the counter and anything in the world can be bought with Bitcoin. These networks of Bitcoin transactions are secured by people called miners who are rewarded with newly created Bitcoin in relation to the number of transactions verified. Now you may think that this is the same as banks, but the fact is that banks charge you for approving transactions, whereas miners are rewarded for transactions. In a sense, Bitcoin depends on transactions. Once these transactions are verified they are placed in a publicly stored Ledger called the Blockchain. Here, all the verified transactions can be viewed. Bitcoins complex technology is revolutionising our current society. It will minimise fees charged by businesses, it is free to create a wallet and start using them and there are no chargebacks. All in all, Bitcoin provides advantages for everyone. To get more information visit bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0 . Banking is necessary, but Banks are not. Waiting for feedback. :) EDIT: Thank heaps guys for all your support. I didn't personally respond to each feedback because I like keeping this forum free of spam. I hope you understand. I have posted it on the school paper and my teachers have successfully accepted it into the paper. They said that it would be released into the next paper next month. Let's hope I can persuade some people to try out Bitcoin. I am working on a second article about some more key parts regarding Bitcoin such as the Blockchain, Decentralisation...etc. I am looking for further topics that I can write about. Send me a personal message or respond with any good topics in this thread and let's spread Bitcoin. :) Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: bestluck on August 02, 2016, 11:13:15 PM It will be really a great support to bitcoin and with that more people will be attracted to this currency and more will get profit and other benefits from there. We all have to plan something for promoting it to everywhere around us, so that everyone adopt this currency and we use this currency with convenient around us even in offline life.
Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: batesresearch on August 03, 2016, 12:18:33 AM Awesome, great to get that seed planted in people's minds about Bitcoin / a decentralised monetary system!!
Where are you based? Could you send me a copy of the school paper when printed (I'll send you a fee ;D ) Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: JeffBrad12 on August 03, 2016, 12:20:27 AM Hey guys I am planning to put some info about Bitcoin in my school’s paper.

It's a good idea , can giving a more knowledge about the technology for them and education, but if you wanna to introducing the bitcoin into the students i think this not a good moment for that. but before sign in into newspaper school better to asking about the permission from the teacher or guide. and talking about the content in the article.Bitcoin – A New Era Have you ever wondered about a world where you could bank without banks?

Bitcoin – A New Era Have you ever wondered about a world where you could bank without banks? A world where your private transactions are public? A world where you could send transactions internationally in a peer-to-peer situation without going through a third party like a bank? It sounds crazy but that is what Satoshi Nakamoto created in the January of 2009. He created Bitcoin. Bitcoins are the first decentralised digital value that can be sent via the internet. This means that it has "no central control, no central private vault of information, no central management, and most importantly, no central point of failure”. Bitcoin is controlled by the people who use it. Everything in bitcoin is public. This is in contrast to the centralised system of third party verifications such as banks or clearing houses. Bitcoin is shaking the foundations of the financial society in which most people live in today. It is a new financial technology that can change the world. Compared to other alternatives such as fiat, which is the government approved legal tender, bitcoin has advantages on many levels. These advantages all rely on Bitcoin’s base philosophy of decentralisation. Bitcoin proposes a form of peer to peer transactions, which means that we can ditch banks for good. In the fiat world, centralised banks have control over transactions. They charge business fees for verifying the validity of such transactions. As there are no banks in the case of Bitcoin, it means that fees are much lower and we can use Bitcoin internationally without restrictions or borders, where your funds can never be frozen. Let’s look into how these Bitcoins work. initially to get bitcoin, the easiest method is to use a centralized gateway, such as someone with a bank account selling bitcoin or an exchange There are many currency exchanges in which people can sell or buy Bitcoin for dollars, euros, pounds and more. Obviously, as each currency has different values, the price of Bitcoin is dependant on the currency used. once you have bitcoins you can move them away from the centralized gateway so that all your Bitcoin are stored in your wallet on your phones, computers, the internet or other devices. wallets are partly a file containing private keys, which is basically a long password you need to keep safe and partly a program to utilise those private keys to send transactions Sending transactions to others is as easy as sending an message and anything in the world can be bought with Bitcoin. These networks of Bitcoin transactions are secured by groups of people called mining pools who are rewarded with newly created Bitcoin for securing transactions. Now you may think that this is the same as banks, but the fact is that banks charge you for approving transactions, whereas miners are rewarded for securing transactions. Bitcoins complex technology is revolutionising our current society. It will minimise fees charged by businesses, it is free to create a wallet and start using them and there are no chargebacks. All in all, Bitcoin provides advantages for everyone. To get more information visit bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0 . Banking is necessary, but Banks are not. my edits are not perfect, i could have rewrote the whole thing. but instead i only tweaked as little as i could, to atleast be a little more accurate while remaining mostly your words. i would however suggest you try to not highlight bitcoin based on "lower fees" and instead talk more about the lack of centralized control, due partly to the strong encryption by mining pools, and then the distribution of the ledger, which prevents individuals nefariously attempting to edit the ledger, because it doesnt match the strongly encrypted ledger everyone else has. Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: ezehy2014 on August 03, 2016, 01:11:04 AM Wow this is a good idea, I think I buy it i will do the same thing in my school so that I can Aldo create awareness about bitcoin even in my environment because this is lacking seriously

Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: electronicash on August 03, 2016, 03:18:40 AM A world where your private transactions are public? i would actually change this lines if i want the message to be positive. maybe " a world where transactions are transparent for everyone can check" or something like that.

Please provide feedback. Thanks. Not a bad idea, but maybe you should switch up the final link from the bitcointalk forum link to something like bitcoin.org, where it is far more newbie-friendly and will give them more factual information rather than the opinions of a ton of people on the internet. Aside from that, I'm not sure what level of education your school provides, but you might want to look into using smaller words as well. I wouldn't want to have to go and use a dictionary or look up words on the internet just to read an article. Most of it is quite good and not too advanced, but there are a few phrases or words that you might want to look at changing. I personally had no challenge reading it, though.Bitcoin – A New Era Have you ever wondered about a world where you could bank without banks? A world where your private transactions are public?

I would like to ask for your permission to translate this in Hindi language. I have seen people who are actually scared away when they read something complicated, we should really promote bitcoin in such user friendly language which will help to grow user base and our great community. When people read about it in initial stage (of them) actually they start assuming instead of finding further information so the introduction must be in self explanatory form. Kudos again.

What is meant by bitcoin and can learn to use it . This will create a curiosity to the public about bitcoin .definitely do not forget to add your contact so that they can directly ask you about what they want to ask , and you can help to explain to them . Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: Snorek on August 03, 2016, 10:42:33 AM Overal after slight edits it will be neat intyroductuiary article. But it is too formulatic for my taste, and especially for a School Newspaper.
To catch people's attention you might mention and add some 'cool' facts about BTC instead of wall of encyclopedic knowledge. What I mean: you might want to mention "Bitcoin Pizza" and progress of bitcoin price over the years (from zero to $1000), this is the most crucial facts people often ask about. Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: ASHLIUSZ on August 03, 2016, 10:46:48 AM it is a good idea about bitcoin . This could be another way to introduce bitcoin to the public and will then know It may be a good advertisement about bitcoin to school students, this will create awareness among youths because many youths get a very first news about bitcoin as it is the illegal one. So this will help to know more good about bitcoin.What is meant by bitcoin and can learn to use it .

Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: Doamader on August 03, 2016, 11:22:30 AM This kind of promotion is good for bitcoin as a new member can join us, go learn a bit more about bitcoin, but i agree the history of pizza and the value bitcoin has reached and its current value should be at the newspaper as well. Doesnt those newspaper need to be aproved by adminstration of the school?
Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: Xester on August 03, 2016, 11:34:04 AM It will be really a great support to bitcoin and with that more people will be attracted to this currency and more will get profit and other benefits from there. We all have to plan something for promoting it to everywhere around us, so that everyone adopt this currency and we use this currency with convenient around us even in offline life. We do hope that more activities like that will occur. It's very disappointed having to witness bitcoins value going down. So let us all work hand in hand to promote bitcoin so that there will be more bitcoin users. Big investors are now shifting to ethereum classic and this spells a decrease on bitcoin price. So its time for us to strengthen our efforts to uplift bitcoins. Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: Wind_FURY on August 03, 2016, 11:41:13 AM That is looking good OP. Will this be a regular column in your school paper. It is good that people will start young in knowing all about bitcoins. Why not also educate the people about the Silk Road story and the conspiracy against Ross Ulbricht. I am sure the younger generation will find it very appealing.
Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: BitcSeo on August 03, 2016, 11:53:50 AM ☞@DOGE12321, thanks for your decision to spreading the word (creating bitcoins awareness in school).
Also, i had same vision similar to your's about spreading the word to offline store's close to my city. The result has been amazing but, it's has not been easy because some will turn their back on you while other's promised to give it a second taughtt. Here is the link to the thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1565831.msg15776679#msg15776679) *I really love to see everyone in the forum having same vision to promote bitcoin ONLINE & OFFLINE! Thanks Bitcseo Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: Supercrypt on August 03, 2016, 05:08:24 PM It's a well-written article for a school paper.
Although it is also true that the article itself needs some editing since there are some punctuation errors and spelling errors. Other than that, it is all really good reading! I have bookmarked this to use like recommending to beginners to pitch into bitcoin system. Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: Backside walkaround on August 03, 2016, 05:25:53 PM OP, your article is awesome. Good job! I would probably take some of franky's stylistic suggestions just to be cleaner, but you did a great job.
Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: batesresearch on August 14, 2016, 03:38:52 PM EDIT: Thank heaps guys for all your support. I didn't personally respond to each feedback because I like keeping this forum free of spam. I hope you understand. I have posted it on the school paper and my teachers have successfully accepted it into the paper. They said that it would be released into the next paper next month. Let's hope I can persuade some people to try out Bitcoin. I am working on a second article about some more key parts regarding Bitcoin such as the Blockchain, Decentralisation...etc. I am looking for further topics that I can write about. Send me a personal message or respond with any good topics in this thread and let's spread Bitcoin. :) Hey, Good work, glad they accepted it. Maybe you should writeup about the blockchain technology as this is the key technology that will change the financial (and other) landscapes. Bitcoin is very important but the Blockchain technology is the groundbreaking idea that enables so much more than just a monetary value being exchanged. Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: sabbirshm on August 14, 2016, 05:33:32 PM I really happy to see you are doing such a good work.it will be very helpful for bitcoin.And many young will attracted to bitcoin and they will learn about cryptocurrency. in the future, they can involved with bitcoin and earn a lot.
Anyway best wishes to you and thank you very much for this. :) Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: Kprawn on August 14, 2016, 06:30:35 PM This is going to scare people away ---> A world where your private transactions are public? - I would much rather say something that explains why transparent tx's are beneficial, for example :
Transactions are reflected on a public ledger/blockchain and could be tracked to stop fraud in government tenders. Bitcoin is still pseudo anonymous for the people who wants some anonymity for their transactions. You could condense that a bit, but you get the basic idea... people do not want ALL their tx's being public. ;) Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: batesresearch on August 14, 2016, 07:02:48 PM This is going to scare people away ---> A world where your private transactions are public? - I would much rather say something that explains why transparent tx's are beneficial, for example : Transactions are reflected on a public ledger/blockchain and could be tracked to stop fraud in government tenders.

By them displaying the address on thier website) Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: johnnyyash on August 24, 2016, 10:36:04 AM this is goodnews...bitcoin gradually planting in every one mind...and spreading little by little... ;)
Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: Betwrong on August 24, 2016, 01:13:46 PM Good job, OP! The more initiatives like this the better, keep it up. As for the suggestion for a new article, you can try to cover in simple words which unexperienced audience can understand the subject of mining Bitcoin with pencil and paper. That would be really interesting IMO.
Here's the article on the subject: http://www.righto.com/2014/09/mining-bitcoin-with-pencil-and-paper.html Good luck! Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: buyinbtc on August 24, 2016, 08:28:59 PM it would be cool to be honest, it is a really good thing that you actually want to promote bitcoins because the more people know it the better for bitcoin
Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: Snorek on August 25, 2016, 12:32:05 AM Op, have you completed your article and it was accepted in your newspaper? Culd you possible share final version, after editing and corrections with us?
I would be very happy with scan or digital version of your school newspaper, or you can edit it to show only plain text if you don't want to reveal your identity/whereabouts. Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: groll on August 25, 2016, 03:08:19 AM It is beautiful! It would help bitcoin to be known to many people and the students alike. It would increase it users which means it could strengthen its power. As demand goes up so its price. Your article with regards to bitcoin is really good. It will help people to understand more about bitcoins and they will be familiar on what its use.
Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: danherbias07 on August 25, 2016, 03:51:12 AM This is way too cool I almost jumped in excitement. Imagine a regular student who dont really read newspapers and just stumbles in the lying newspaper in the ground that have been thrown by other student. Exactly at the page where you printed about bitcoin, he tries to read it then BOOM! He can now afford his own tuition.
Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: ~Bitcoin~ on August 25, 2016, 05:07:11 AM Educating School and college students are really helpful for better adoption in future rather than trying to convince adults who just fear to try new things. Good initiation you have made OP, share your final copy of article if you have published it.
Title: Re: BTC in School Newspaper Post by: septian44 on August 25, 2016, 05:30:27 AM Hey guys I am planning to put some info about Bitcoin in my school’s paper. Here is the script. Please provide feedback. Thanks. good information easy to understand for the public they have to know what will happen in the future bitcoin is a solution for everyone.I just need to give it to them via social media with the title of what is bitcoin? ..Bitcoin – A New Era Have you ever wondered about a world where you could bank without banks? A world where your private transactions are public? A world where you could send transactions internationally in a peer-to-peer situation without going through a third party like a bank? It sounds crazy but that is what Satoshi Nakamoto created in the January of 2009. He created Bitcoin. Bitcoins are the first decentralised digital coins that can be sent via the internet. This means that it has “no central control, no central private vault of information, no central management, and most importantly, no central point of failure”. Bitcoin is controlled by the people who use it. Everything in bitcoin is public. This is contrasted with the centralised system of third party verifications such as banks or clearing houses. Bitcoin is shaking the foundations of the society in which most people live in today. It is a new, technology that can change the world. Compared to other alternatives such as fiat, which is the currency that has been approved by a government tender, bitcoin has advantages on many levels. These advantages all rely on Bitcoin’s central philosophy of decentralisation. Bitcoin proposes a form of peer to peer transactions, which means that we are ditching banks for good. In the centralised world, banks have control over transactions. They charge payment for verifying the validity of such transactions. As there are no banks in the case of Bitcoin, it means that business fees are much lower, we can use Bitcoin internationally and that your wallet can never be frozen. Let’s look into how these Bitcoins work. There are many currency exchanges in which people can sell or buy Bitcoin for dollars, euros, pounds and more. Obviously, as each currency has different values, the price of Bitcoin is dependant on the currency used. All your Bitcoin are stored in your wallet on your phones, computers, the internet or other devices. Sending transactions to other accounts is as easy as handing money over the counter and anything in the world can be bought with Bitcoin. These networks of Bitcoin transactions are secured by people called miners who are rewarded with newly created Bitcoin in relation to the number of transactions verified. Now you may think that this is the same as banks, but the fact is that banks charge you for approving transactions, whereas miners are rewarded for transactions. In a sense, Bitcoin depends on transactions. Once these transactions are verified they are placed in a publicly stored Ledger called the Blockchain. Here, all the verified transactions can be viewed. Bitcoins complex technology is revolutionising our current society. It will minimise fees charged by businesses, it is free to create a wallet and start using them and there are no chargebacks. All in all, Bitcoin provides advantages for everyone. To get more information visit bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0 . Banking is necessary, but Banks are not. Waiting for feedback. :) EDIT: Thank heaps guys for all your support. I didn't personally respond to each feedback because I like keeping this forum free of spam. I hope you understand.

But this is a good start to introduce the younger generation to what could be their preferred currency many years from now. I hope the kids of today can grow up to a world where digital currency will be used more often, not just bitcoin, but whatever brings them the most comfort and the least hassle possible.
